Determine the expected diffraction angle (in degrees) for the first-order reflection from the (310) set of planes for BCC chromium(Cr) when monochromatic radiation of wavelength 0.0711 nm is used. (Rcr= 0.1249nm)
The metal iridium has an FCC crystal structure. If the angle of diffraction for the (220) set of planes
occurs at 69.22° (first-order reflection) when monochromatic x-radiation having a wavelength of
0.1542 nm is used, compute (a) the interplanar spacing for this set of planes, and (b) the atomic
radius for an iridium atom.
